Transmission SHIPPING Q

[rapieper@yahoo.com (Ron Pieper)]

Hmmm...first thing to note is that the total weight will be approaching
80#, so whatever box you use will have to be sturdy.

I shipped one from Cincy to TX, but did it through work.  They had HD
boxes and "Instapak", the spray-in stuff that swells and firms up. It
worked beautifully.  Cost was $35 IIRC, but that was free packing
materials and a hefty company discount.  

IMO, foam nuggets may let it slip around too much still.  You might try
wrapping it in bubble wrap (after putting it in a trash bag) first,
then fill the corners with nuggets.  Seriously try to find some company
to pack it for you; they should have good resources, materials, and
insights.
